At Thomas Baio Architect we believe that promoting the connection of your home to its unique environment is a necessity. The use of groundscaping elements such as decks, patios, gardens, stone walls, etc. can soften the barrier between the interior and exterior.

Landscape architects address site conditions such as drainage, cut and fill calculations, retaining walls, and other issues important to a complete integration of house and property. When working in tandem with these designers, we can develop plans and details that integrate well with our exterior materials and building forms.

We also work with engineers to incorporate into our plans their specific technical requirements as well as the manufacturers’ shop drawings of specific elements to be included around the building envelope.
